Maria's Reviews > Remembering Ivy

“Have you been following me?” she asks - “Yes I have” he says with a half smile - “why?” she asks – “because you’re Ivy” he answers seriously. These are the few words that set off the little spark that will turn into a fire between Ivy and William. Ivy has been trying to start living again after losing her father from a horrible disease. She is confident that she will find the right guy but she is not quite ready for it to happen. William comes into Ivy’s life unannounced, he just happens to be there every time she ends up in a place, so she is quite perplexed and asks herself if he’s a stalker. But how can a gorgeous and sweet guy be a stalker, she thinks. At the end it will turn out that William will be her forever after and who cares if he hasn’t a past he can’t remember because William is her soul mate and nothing will come between them. I admit, I really had difficulties writing a review. I would have liked to write more and more but I wouldn’t forgive myself if I gave away so many spoiler alerts to the story. I’m convinced that each and every reader must solely appreciate a good book without any influence by the outside world, it should be a moment of reverence towards a story that needs to be treated with utter respect. So Claire has written another story that has left me speechless. How she does it, is a complete mystery to me. What I’m certain about is that every book she writes always contains a topic so dear to us women. All her characters are real and the story flows pleasantly letting the time pass without realizing it. What would I really give to have another William like Ivy has in my life, a man from another time, someone who is always there and who will protect you against the evil. This is by no doubt one of those books that need to be grabbed and read without hesitation. I voluntarily reviewed an advanced reader copy of the book.
